(H. Zajic). 1.Td5+? c:d5 2.S:g6+ L:g6+ scheitert an 3.Tc1 und auch das feinere 1.Td4? (droht 2.Te4+/S:g6+) c:b5? 2.Sc4+ Kf5 3.Le4+ L:e4# führt nicht zum Ziele: 1.- Lf beliebig 2.Sf5# Nach dem Schlüssel 1.Ta3! mit der leider nur kurzzügigen Drohung 2.S:g6+ L:g6# " öffnet Schwarz zur Verteidigung Linien, die Weiß gleich wieder verstellt " (AB). " Das ist sicher ein Überbleibsel des (5.) WCCT " (HM). 1.- c:b5 2.Sc4+ (2.Sd beliebig ?) Kf5 3.e4+ L:e4#, 1.- Lf beliebig 2.Sf5+ (2.Sc4?) Ke4 3.d3+ L:d3#. Zu diesen beiden WCCT-Thema-Varianten kommt noch eine fortgesetzte Verteidigung hinzu: 1.- L:e7 2.D:e7+ (2.Sf5?) Kd5 3.Dg5+ Lf5# Lassen wir MR zusammenfassen: " Von den drei Linienöffnungen in Richtung 1. Reihe geben 2 gleichzeitig den Blick auf eines der durch den wBatterie-Springer gedeckten Felder frei, der dann in Siersmanier die schädlichen Linien wieder verstellt, so daß jeweils einer der wBB den sK wieder einfangen und (weit effektvoller als der Springer in der Kurzdrohung) die L-T-Batterie aktivieren kann. Obwohl die 3. Variante mit der Einschaltung der wDame nach Entblockung vom Themaspiel abweicht, empfinde ich also Bereicherung. " Also kurz und knapp: " Gut " (WAB). (16L)

I. 1.T:c8+! d:c8S!! 2.De6 Db5# (MM), II. 1.D:e8+! d:e8D!! 2.Ld6 Sb6#. „Der Hinweis im Vorspann war sehr hilfreich“ (JS), denn wir sehen hier „eine Art Wiederauferstehung.“ (ES) „Witziges Spiel und einmal Mustermatt – was will man mehr?“ (JS) „Doppelphönix in Meredith-Form, beachtlich!“ (BK) „Blocks von schwarzer Dame und schwarzem Läufer erlauben nach Phönix-Umwandlung Dame /Springer-Matts“ (JB), „ein spektakuläres zweifaches Wiedergeburtsdrama.“ (VZ) „Schlag weißer Steine, die danach gleich wieder durch Bauernumwandlung auferstehen, und das nur, damit der lästige weiße Bauer zur Öffnung der Diagonale verschwindet. Nicht ganz einheitlich in der Motivation der schwarzen Züge, aber effektvoll.“ (FRd) „Damit der weiße Bauer die Linie von e8 in Richtung c6 bis b5 räumen kann, wird ihm ein Flügel verleihender Energy-Drink verabreicht. Die Verbindung des immer wieder gerne gesehenen Phönix- Motivs mit einem Zilahi, die mit schwarzem Themabauern nicht unbedingt leichter von der Hand geht (P0551679), wurde in Vergleichsaufgabe P1004692 mit Linienöffnungen für die Blocksteine in Verbindung mit weißer Zugnot begründet.“ (MRit) „Elegante Phönix-Einleitungen zu dem Zweck, der weißen Ursprungsdame in Lösung I. die Mattlinie, in Lösung II. der weißen Phönix-Dame die Deckungslinie nach c6 zu öffnen. Lösung I. mündet nach schwarzer Damen-Entfesselung und Block in ein Mustermatt, Lösung II. nach schwarzer Läufer-Verstellung und Block nicht. Insgesamt aber sehr schön.“ (HJä) „Schwarze Opfer, Tschumakow-Thema, Zilahi, weiße Umwandlung, Phönix, Onkoud- 50-Thema. Strategisch sehr reichhaltig. Gehört auch in den Preisbericht. Prima.“ (KHS)

Preisrichter Michel Caillaud in feenschach IX-X 1999:
"There already exist several 'consequent‘ series-movers with two castlings, but this one has the extra feature of the return to the initial position of the two thematical units. Very entertaining and neatly done".
Übersetzung (Hans Gruber): „Es gibt schon einige ‚konsequente‘ Serienzüger mit zwei Rochaden, aber bei diesem kommt es zusätzlich zu einer Rückkehr beider Themasteine in ihre Diagrammposition. Sehr unterhaltsam, sauber gemacht."
Arno Tüngler: Ursprüngliche inkorrekte Version in -0-0- 1980.

Welches war die minimale Zahl aller Damenzüge?
Die unglaublich harte Bedingung (minimale Anzahl Damenzüge) bewirkt, dass die wDd1 nicht gezogen hat und die sDh4 eine UWF ist. Um die Stellung aufzulösen, müssen 2 weiße UW auf g8 zurückgenommen werden. Da dort nur Türme entwandelt werden können (Damen scheiden wegen der Bedingung aus!) darf die sDd7 zunächst nicht nach d8 zurückziehen.

A.Buchanan: Two queen moves is enough, as the animation shows. I agree white captures are hxg,axb,bxa/c. bBh promoted on h1, then moved to h4. bBh2 captured in from the left. Black pawn captures something like cxBdxexfxgxh,gxf,dxe. White abcB all promoted and at least one wB on g8. No need for a third D move as far as I can see. (2021-08-03)
Mario Richter: Hi Andrew - the main question is: How do you get the black king home?
In the solution given, after R: 7. a5xLb6 there is a black pawn on e5.
The position can only be unlocked by retracting wKe5-f5. Where exactly is the mentioned black pawn e5 at the moment wKe5-f5 is retracted? (2021-08-03)
A.Buchanan: Hi Mario, I was just responding to H-J's text assertion that 3 D moves are needed. A PG with 3 D moves could not prove that 2 are insufficient, and I find long unanimated PGs too tedious to read through sorry. I now think that the animation must be wrong, but I haven't convinced myself that no solution exists. I must work, but will have a go later. (2021-08-03)
A.Buchanan: OK - we can make sL on queenside and shift to kingside, and I can see that knights (or bishops) can't reach g8 to retract there, so it must be rooks along the 8th rank. So we can't retract the sDd7, and can't shift sTe6. But few Black tempi then. But this is not my kind of retro, and I will give up here. What's the answer: 2 or 3? (2021-08-03)
Mario Richter: My guess is, that the intended solution was 2 Queen moves, but that it it is impossible to get the black king home: R: sLf8, g7xf6 locks e8 from the right side, R: sDd8-d7, sBd7-d6 locks e8 from the left side (2021-08-03)
A.Buchanan: WinChloe has two earlier versions, and the composer was very experienced (200+ retros just in PDB) but I have now looked enough to think this is cooked. Even if we shift sBa forward 2 squares to give us a couple more moves, then all goes well shifting sL & wT to kingside, but we reach a point where sBc7xwBd6, with still sBd5, so the two pawns are the wrong side of one another. What does Rawbats think? (2021-08-04)
Mario Richter: Perhaps it suffices to say what I think?!
With bPa2 instead of a5 it is easy to reach the position with 2 queen moves only:
1. retract R: 1. Te1-f1 g3xSh2 2. Sf1-h2+
2. retract d6xSe5(or d6xTe5)xSf4xBauer_g3 while W makes tempo moves e.g. with wLg1
3. unpromote the S or Te5 on b8 and retract the wPawn to b6, while bPawn a2 retracts to a6
4. uncapture a5xLb6 - now there is no time pressure
5. unpromote wS on c8 and retract the wPawn to c6
6. retract c7xBauer_d6(!)
[this idea was inspired by the question, how the situation mentioned in your comment "we reach a point where sBc7xwBd6, with still sBd5", can be avoided]
7. retract wPawn_d6 to e.g. d3 (but not d2)
8. retract d5xTe4
9. bring wT to g8, sL to f8
10. retract g7-g8=T Dd8-d7 g6-g7 g7xSf6 (or Tf6)
11. unpromote wS or wT on a8
12. the rest is easy to see

Since the author wanted to show a certain combination of C-F-pieces, the above mentioned choices in the uncapture of white pieces still make the modified version of the problem cooked, even if with bPa2 2 Queen-moves suffice.

Zolotarev used the matrix of this problem a lot, search the PDB with
A='Zolotarev' AND G='Retro' AND POSITION='wKf5 sKf3'

And yes, the Composer may be "very experienced" as you put it, but he was also very productive regarding cooks, check e.g. https://www.dieschwalbe.de/ergaenzungena2.htm ...

And one more mysterium: the Retro Corner gives 3 Queen-moves as the solution, s. https://www.janko.at/Retros/Schwalbe/Solutions.htm#9576 (2021-08-05)
Hans-Jürgen Manthey: Es sind 3 DAME-züge nötig !! (und nicht 2 wie A.Buchanan behauptet !)
Zuerst den wK nach f5 dann bK f3 nur möglich wenn der wK kurz auf g5 parkt. jedoch Dh4, Lh3, Tg4 verhindern diesen Plan. Es muß also zuerst bKf3 geschehen. Damit der wK nun nach f5 gelangen kann, darf e5 weder gedeckt (d6) noch besetzt sein (e5). Dank den Hinterstellungen Lh1-Tg2 & Lh3-Tg4 ist nach bxSf6 kein K-Zug mehr möglich ! Da ein g-Springer nicht die Ecke verlassen kann, muß es ein T sein. Auf c(oder a & c) entstandene T (oder S) können auf e5, f4 zwar geschlagen werden, aber es ist keine figur übrig um sich auf f6 zu opfern ! der bK muß aber über d7 oder d8 sein gefängnis verlassen, darum benötigt die ursprungsD 2 Züge(Dc7 oder Dc8 sowie Dd7) + 1 Zug die UmwandlunsDame(Dh4) = 3 Züge !!

Colour of Sa1 is irrelevant to forward play, except for castling rights. Ignoring these retro concerns, there are two candidate solutions.
Suppose that both castling rights remain. Then sTh2 is original sTa8, and black b&c & white g&h pawn pairs have both cross-captured. However White has made 1 visible pawn capture, Black 6. In (a) this leaves 2+1 unaccounted for; in (b) 1+2. So at most one side can have cross-captured, so in each twin just one side can retain castling rights, allowing just one candidate to work in each.
Corrects P0000899. See P1399806, a companion problem.

Die kürzestmögliche OR erfordert 23 schwarze Züge (C+), die Zugfolge ist nicht eindeutig.
In "32 personaggi e 1 autore" (p.533) fälschlich ohne wBb7 abgedruckt (aber mit korrekter Steinkontrolle 10+11). Die Korrektur ist nachzulesen in "La genesi delle posizioni" (p.217).
Henrik Juel: The task of changing who has the move can be accomplished in 15 black moves:
1.La7 Kb2 .. 6.Lb8 Kb7 7.La7 Kc7 8.Lb8+ Kc8 9.La7 Kb7 .. 15.La7 Ka1 16.Lb8,
or, if it is Black to move:
1... Kb2 2.La7 Ka3 .. 6.La7 Kb7 7.Lb8 Kc8 8.La7 Kc7 9.Lb8+ Kb7 .. 15.Lb8 Ka1 (2012-07-26)
Mario Richter: Since the wL can lose a tempo on b6-d8, the OR can be done even faster:
WTM: 1.La7 Sb7 2.Lb6 Kb2 3.Ld8 Ka1 4.Lc7 Sd8 5.Lb8
BTM: 1. ... Sb7 2.La7 Sd8 3.Lb6 Sb7 4.Ld8 Kb2 5.Lc7 Sd8 6.Lb8 Ka1
My guess: diagram error. (2012-07-26)
TBr: Indeed, Mario, a diagram error just in "32 personaggi e 1 autore" (p.533), where the diagram is given as here -- but with piece count 10+11!
Correction in "La genesi delle posizioni" (p.217): Add white Pawn b7. (2012-07-26)
Henrik Juel: With a white pawn added on b7, the play by black king is a1-b2-a3-a4-b5 followed by a round trip, the orientation of which depends on who has the move, like in P0005205 (2012-07-26)

play all play one stop play next play all
Henrik Juel: In Losing Chess the kings are not royal
In Kamikaze RI each capture removes one white and one black man
So the empty board is legal, and any position with one man (KDTLSP) is illegal
An Illegal Cluster is an illegal position that becomes legal when you remove any one non-king
My guess would be 2x6x64 = 768 or possibly 2x5x64 = 640
Where did I go wrong? (2020-07-12)
Henrik Juel: maybe 768 - 32 = 736
where 32 is the number of ways you can put a pawn on row 1 or 8 (2022-10-13)
A.Buchanan: In an “orthodox” illegal cluster, a pawn couldn’t be on the first or last rank unless it was the only non-king unit. There’s probably no principle to cover this rather dull corner-case KPvK. Ask HG! (2022-10-14)
A.Buchanan: And in orthodoxy, do two adjacent kings constitute an illegal cluster? There are no non-king units to remove, so the condition is vacuously satisfied (2022-10-14)
Henrik Juel: On your last comment, Andrew:
Two adjacent kings do not constitute an IC. The position is illegal, and when you remove any non-king you get the same illegal position (2022-10-14)
A.Buchanan: Define that a box is SAFE if it contains no radioactive objects. So is every empty box safe? Yes! :-) (2022-10-14)
